Christiansborg Palace

Christiansborg Palace : Michelin's recommendations

Between the early fortress and Christianborg, there was a gothic castle in around 1416, a baroque palace (of which the two wings and stairs remain, accessed from the Marble Bridge) which was intended to rival Versailles. It burned down in 1794 and a further fire ruined the neoclassical reconstruction of 1803-1828. In the iddle of the courtyard stands the equestrian statue of Frederick VII. The castle now houses the Parliament, the Prime Minister's office and the royal reception rooms.
